Firstly, thank you for taking the time to visit my website which I set up some years ago and to my delight has gone from strength to strength and has had over one million visitors thus far and growing by the day.
When I first decided to launch the site, my primary objective was to commemorate and remember all those killed during the Troubles, especially the many innocent lives lost in a war they wanted no part in. This was a daunting task and took me many months to complete and as a result my site now includes a comprehensive searchable database of every major event and killings during the Troubles. I also have a wide range of other content, stuff that interests and intrigues me and some of my blog posts receive millions of views. I also love to share music and many of my Twitter friends will be familiar with my drunken Friday nite sets which I share via this blog and my Twitter feed .
I know many journalists & researchers ect use my site as a reference resource on a regular basis for research and background on the Troubles and others just seem to enjoy my daily post, rants and musings on a diverse range of topics.

Unlike many other sites I don’t have paid subscription , charge for content , paywalls or am constantly asking for donations from my visitors. Since the site was launched I have funded the hosting and monthly running costs and over a twelve month period this is a substantial amount to fork out and most importantly I am planning a major revamp and upgrade next year and I am very generously offering you the opportunity to make a small ( or large ) contribution towards this.
With all this in mind please consider making a small donation of £5 – £10.00 (or more if you’re feeling generous) towards the hosting and monthly costs of running of the site and next years upgrade, which is costing me almost £400.00.
I did consider adding a firewall to the site but I bloody hate those things and I know it puts people of visiting sites. So Im giving you the chance (lucky you !) to show your love and appreciation by making a small or large donation towards the running and upkeep of my site.
Take care – Be Happy and Come back soon!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story and visiting my world.
